    Default Hey everyone....New to the club 2013 st limited pearl white

    Hey everyone new to the club but have been a lurker for quite some time. Over the past weekend I purchased a 2013 spyder st limited in fantastic shape with 4k miles, akropovic exhaust and backrest. I have been riding my whole life all types of motorcycles and also 4 wheeler, I know this drives like a 4 wheeler but is a little different on the road so there will be a slight learning curve. I think the biggest thing I will have to get use to is the lack of a brake lever, I know it can be added but for 1k+ i'm all set and will get use to just the foot one. Well I look forward to learning more from all of you and meeting many! Cheers

    and on your new ST. White is the "classy" color.

    Since you have been lurking a while, you have probably already read the Do's and Don'ts thread. If not, give it a read. Lots of information about handling, etc.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Welcome my Brother
    Mavrik is my riding bud of well over 15 years, my Spyder bit him and now he's hooked. Bought my 014 ST leftover in 015 and have 23k miles of smiles cruising the back roads of New Hampshire. He's coming up on Sunday for the first long run on his new ride. We will knock off around 400 miles of back roads heading up to the lakes region and white mountains with a dab of Maine tossed in if we can.


    Be well
    Mr.Wog

    I too, recently purchased a '13 ST. I only did 3 rides so far, (I went on a family vacation 2 days after purchasing it ) the first ride being the 140 mile ride home after purchase. I never rode one before I bought it, it's certainly different. I'm getting more comfortable with each mile. I already stopped trying to brake with a non existent bake lever so at this time I see no need to add one.

    Your ST looks like the twin to one I was looking at this week on Craigslist in California. Like yours, it doesn't have the 2014 side panel update but also like yours, it only has 4600 miles. Glad to hear that you're really enjoying your new ride. I rented an RT several years ago, but haven't ridden the ST - but it's the most comfortable one for me, although the RT is a close second.

    Two years ago I took a class in Clark Co. WA to get my trike endorsement. I used a side car rig, but there were several ladies that were on Spyders. One on an ST and one on an RT -- they did extremely well through the riding course that was set up in the fairgrounds.
